[DCRM-L] Printed albums

[Auyong, Dorothy]

Andrea,

The free roaming, uncontrolled terms I've seen for the bound blank music books are: "Composition notebook", "Musician's journal" -they're somewhat akin to blank artist sketchbooks and meant to be filled.

RBMS Paper thesaurus has

Music papers
Broader Term
Types of paper by uses or names<http://rbms.info/vocabularies/paper/tr21.htm>

But I'm not sure that fits your needs either.

As for the "Albooks", it's an interesting question. Are you saying the actual physical medium (i.e. the bound album with ruled pages) is clearly a step/grade or two up from an "exercise book" for practicing? That it's intended for more of a "finished" manuscript product?

I think when the autographic process was the primary means for individuals to produce text, music or graphics, there probably was a market to make nicer substrates for "clean-copies".  They're not "exercise books" because they were meant to be preserved and possibly shared with an audience.

Thanks Ryan!  I'm not sure that Exercise books quite fits my needs though, as these albums are generally created by professionals in their fields.  What I guess I need is something between "album" and "notebook."  Albook?

Hi Andrea,

With regard to ruled notebooks, you might consider the following:

RBMS Genre Terms thesaurus has Exercise books (Penmanship), SN: Use for books containing only blank, usually ruled pages, intended for a pupil's practice penmanship or calligraphy.

AAT has Exercise books, SN: Notebooks of usually ruled pages used by school children for the writing or drawing of exercises.

As for books of blank staff paper, I am at a loss.

Best,
Ryan

Greetings, fellow genre term enthusiasts.  I often catalog manuscripts which have been written into printed albums, like printed music staves, or (19th cen.) ruled notebooks.  Does anyone have a suggestion for a genre term to use for these printed albums?  They frequently have a maker displayed prominently on the cover or inside the back cover, etc., and tend to be on good-quality paper.  They are not "commemorative" in any way, as several of the album terms in our thesaurus are.  Thoughts, suggestions, recriminations?
Grateful thanks,
Andrea
